No other modern country gives corporations the unfettered power found in
America to gouge cus­tomers, shortchange workers, and erect barriers to fair
play. A big reason is that so little of the news . . . addresses the
private, government-approved mechanisms by which price gouging is employed
to redistribute income upward.

You are being systematically exploited by powerful corporations every day.
These companies squeeze their trusting customers for every last cent, risk
their retirement funds, and endanger their lives. And they do it all
legally. How? It’s all in the fine print.
